    Summer season:

    • The Summer Hikaru Died - My AOTS. I read a couple of volumes and knew I was going to enjoy it, but the direction exceeded my expectations. Phenomenal voice acting and OST.
    • Call of the Night Season 2 - A step up from season 1. Miyuki Sawashiro as Anko was majestic to witness.
    • Dr. Stone: Science Future Part 2 - Loved this season, almost as interesting and exciting as the first one.
    • City The Animation - Charming and fun.
    • See You Tomorrow at the Food Court - The female friendship dynamic was on point, both girls were too damn relatable. Where do I find my own Yamamoto?
    • Milky Subway - So much life and character in such a short running time. It was a delight to watch.
    • Dekin no Mogura - Found it more enjoyable than Hozuki’s Coolheadedness.
    • Fermat Kitchen - I guess I can call this one my surprise of the season. The story was catchy and intense. It’s like watching a sports anime but the sport is cooking, and I love sports anime.
    • Betrothed to My Sister’s Ex - The story was simple and full of tropes, but we rarely get a fantasy romance with decent production values. An affectionate male lead and a cool maid added some points to my enjoyment of this show.
    • Osomatsu-san Season 4 - A mixed bag, could have been an OVA or something. Some episodes were fun, others – not so much. Luckily, the summer season wasn’t overwhelming for me and I was in the mood for more Osomatsu.
    • Ruri Rocks - This show was pretty and educational, but didn’t grab me in the way I had anticipated it to.
